Watch This Incredible Athlete Boxing Like A Champ At 39 Weeks Pregnant

Australian athlete Caley Reece is a six-time world champion in Muay Thai kickboxing. She's also 39 weeks pregnant—but that doesn't stop her from slaying at the gym. In a recent Facebook post, the 36-year-old shared a video of herself casually practicing her moves like a total boss with her husband and trainer, Darren. Don't worry, there's no actual hitting involved.

Reece has shared clips of her workout routine on social media throughout her pregnancy, including shots of her rocking weighted bar dips, lifting, and power walking. (She is not engaging in contact boxing.) In most cases, it is safe and even beneficial for women who are experiencing complication-free pregnancies to exercise. (Of course, it's always important to talk to your doctor before proceeding with an exercise routine while expecting—especially if your regular routine involves contact sports.) Despite the fact that working out during pregnancy is encouraged by many health professionals, some of Reece's followers have unfairly criticized her routine.

In her Facebook post, Reece addressed issues raised by negative commenters. "People ragging out on previous videos saying I’m going to fall over, trip on my belly, get punched accidentally, [it’s] too much on the belly etc...um...so what if I get punched in the face—my baby isn’t growing in my head!" she wrote. "There is no more danger here than there is power walking or twisting in a pool. For those that have no idea, we do not pivot with our stomachs in Muay Thai, we turn/pivot with our hips/feet. We have been doing this for over 40 years combined. Don’t stop what you love. There's always ways around everything."

In a recent interview with photographer Bek Heaton, Reece shared more details of her current training routine. "I have a newfound respect for the female body—not only for what I know it can do, but of what it just can't and won't," Reese told Heaton. "I'm training at about 25 to 30 percent of what I'm capable of at the moment, which is more than safe enough. Some people have seen some pregnancy videos of me and think its crazy, that I'm going to harm my baby, but these people haven’t seen what I could do prior to that," she told Heaton. "Everything I do is modified and if something doesn’t feel right, I simply won't do it."

Reece also revealed that she doesn't take critics' negativity too seriously. "To be honest with you, when you have been successful in something, you have to develop thick skin because no matter how well you do, there will always be people trying to pull you down," she shared with Heaton. "So the comments [about exercising while pregnant] don’t bother me...Pregnancy is not an illness or sickness. It's not a reason to stop living. It’s a reason to start looking after yourself. You are creating life so you need to be in good mental and physical condition. If not for yourself, then for your new addition." Go, girl.
